México es el país más letal del mundo para la política, y aun así el gobierno decide politizar las cortes. Nos hemos convertido en un narcoestado donde, en vez de fortalecer instituciones, se usa el erario para destruir el poder judicial.

A propósito de la elección judicial en México, comparto de nuevo el artículo que escribí con @AOD_PhD. Ya anticipábamos que la participación sería baja; lo preocupante es cómo esa baja participación deja a las elecciones expuestas a ser manipuladas por grupos de interés.

Excited to share that I spoke to the @nytimes about Mexico's Judicial Reform. We don't have kings in democracies, and we should be wary of attempts by charismatic executives to subvert judicial independence.

Its also worth noting that Trump’s statement is false. Governments around the world routinely give their citizens scholarships to go study at places like Harvard. These foreign governments understand the value of a Harvard education and are willing to pay sticker price for it.

bro, how is this real. the federal government has a database of every international student's name, current address, place of birth, citizenship, fingerprints, and even eye scans. he's threatening harvard to give him information that they already have.
